You may want to follow that thread if you have any issues doing so. Long story short is you have to push the root files to your phone from your sd card via adb commands using the Terminal Emulator app (free in play store). Follow the instructions and you should be fine.

i guess then the question is, is there a way to root without Motochopper? if so what method

I don't understand...I said read the link I posted above. In that link it explains that motochopper doesn't work AND shows you where to learn how to do the new root exploit...all the info you need sitting there waiting for you if you will just click the link I posted for you a WEEK ago lol
